In response to "Hospital ICUs were full, patients couldn't be moved, because other hospitals were also full." by TWuG

Yikes. I hope Biden handles this better than Dubya.

Although I suspect it'll still be a shitshow, I'm hoping it won't be a Katrina-level one.

so basically, the first point of failure in a large scale disaster response is the governor. In Katrina the LA governor failed. - loosilu Aug 29, 18:47 1
- Makes sense. Do they have an otherwise-competent governor? ("Aug 02: Governor reinstates mask mandate", I'll count that as a yes) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 29, 19:36
FEMA pre-staged supplies, so hopefully distribution goes well. -- nm - TWuG Aug 29, 18:47 1
- That's what they are supposed to do. They cannot deliver the supplies unless the governor does the stuff. -- nm - loosilu Aug 29, 18:48
It starts locally (city), then state, then Biden can do nothing unless the governor makes specific requests. -- nm - loosilu Aug 29, 18:44
